Florida Gators Men's Basketball Team Shines in 2024-25 Season
The Florida Gators men’s basketball team, under head coach Todd Golden, continues to make waves in the 2024-25 season with a strong 24-3 (11-3 SEC) record. Despite securing two dominant victories last week—an 85-63 home win over Oklahoma and a 79-65 road victory against LSU—the Gators dropped one spot to No. 3 in both the AP Top 25 and USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. Duke moved ahead of Florida in the rankings following a 43-point win over the weekend.
Florida’s performance this season has been historic, with their 24-3 record marking the third-best start in program history through 27 games. The Gators are projected as a No. 1 seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, bolstered by their impressive resume, including a nine-point win over then-No. 1 Auburn earlier this month. Florida has been ranked among the top six teams for seven consecutive weeks, with last week’s No. 2 ranking being their highest since March 2014.
The Gators face a challenging schedule ahead, with three of their final four regular-season games against top-25 opponents. Their strong NET ranking (No. 4) and a 5-3 record against Quadrant 1 opponents further solidify their case for a high tournament seed. Meanwhile, the SEC remains well-represented in the polls, with eight teams ranked in the top 25, including Auburn at No. 1, Tennessee at No. 5, and Alabama at No. 6.
As the regular season winds down, Florida’s focus shifts to securing favorable seedings for the SEC and NCAA Tournaments, with their recent performances keeping them in contention for a top seed.
